LRT (Lambat, Risau & Terseksa!)

Hi hi everyone, lets talk about our public transportation which has always been....em, UNRELIABLE!!! I have been taking our so-called very canggih LRT ride to work for the past 1 week as i have just started working a week ago. (Very canggih and "keng" because our LRT train is fully automated without the need for a driver to operate the train from inside!) Thus, i believe because of this also, there have been many unpleasant but hilarious events that goes on in the LRT every morning during the rush hour to work which is between 7.45am- 9.30am and also between 5.00pm-7.00pm when work ends.

Dysfunctional LRT: The "keng" LRT train does not have a driver in it to monitor how huge the crowd is growing at the stop of each station. And also it does not have any kind of alarm that goes off when the train is over load. Just keep on adding the people inside until everyone gets crushed like sardines! This happened to the point that i felt the train jerking because it is struggling to ferry God knows how many people inside the train to their destinations.

Dysfunctional people: And then, we have the heroes of the morning who just can't wait to get crushed inside the LRT in order to get to work early....Those kiasus! My situation every morning goes something like this... I board the LRT at 8am daily at the 2nd station, Taman Bahagia which by common sense, should not be overcrowded being the first 2 stations and all...but lo' and behold'...by the time the LRT doors opened in front of my eyes...there isn't and spaces left to squeeze my tiny self into. The train was full right up to the door man! Sheeh, and if it wasn't bad enough, some super heroes with the ability to squeeze themselves in despite the crowd are annoying as hell! They would squeeze and squeeze until i get crushed inside instead of waiting for the next train. So, the next day...i thought of trying my own kiasu way to get ahead instead of getting crushed. I waited on the opposite direction so that when the train turn back to the 2nd station, i would at least have a place to seat. I did it and was very proud of myself that day. It sounded selfish but at least i didn't get crushed and honestly, i don't think anyone would give up their seat for me rite? Hehe...the following day, i executed my masterplan again...only to be foiled this time. When the train stopped at the 1st station, the guard forced me to get out and line up again with the hundred of others queing up.. Tiu!!! So smart wan they all...know my tricks ha. With that trick now useless, i guess it's back to squeezing.

The ride home at 5pm is the worst and by far, much much worst than the ride to work! All those sweaty men with body odour and sweaty arms and armpits leaning towards you....eeew!!! And you get sooo self- conscious and paranoid when someone squeezes themselves too near to you. "Is that hand grabbing my ass? " And the worst part of this whole LRT thingy is how much effort the government is making to promote the stupid public transport. Govt says that by taking LRT, we can decrease the jam on the road and save on petrol. And when our poor souls get flattened in the train, there is a stupid ad in the train that says "Want a reliable ride?...get a kancil!" What the fuck??? Haiyooo....the Govt is contradicting themselves la! Ask us to take LRT, but LRT advises us to get a kancil? But thinking of it, i rather have the kancil to drive to work everyday instead of being a tuna fish every morning. Haha.
